I Spent a Day in Japan’s Forgotten High School

[@AbroadinJapan]

DR JELLY IS BACK! With a song. About himself. Consider this more of a bonus video than official JAJ canon. But given the limited time, terrible weather and a lack of a plan, I have to say this turned out far better than we could have hoped. Enjoy! Grab yourself some Dr Jelly merch while it exists: 😅abroad-in-japan.creator-spring.com/

[@marenhumblebee2736]

So much fun! Thanx for a fun video, but I think the prejudice that Joey gets the good stuff is undeserved. Connor has a chip on his shoulder... next time make sb write a story and let Connor voice act in it... then he will be in his element ❤. joey had the prison, and the horrible snack bar hotel, and Connor had the luxury ferry, and the luxury hotel during whacky weekends in the past... it all evens out😊

If I remember correctly they only asked for them to make a commercial Chris and Joey were able to decide what about I think they chose those jelly drinks because Chris was obsessed with drinking them the whole time he was riding bike

[@saturnight.3026]

Jelly Across Japan

[@mario98730]

We really don't talk about Joey's musical ability nearly enough. Writing a lyrically polished 80's style rap song that uses words like riboflavin in 20 minutes is absolutely ridiculous lol. And props to Chris cuz that beat genuinely goes hard. We might need a Dr Jelly rap album soon

[@inspiteofshame]

Facts. My mind is BLOWN. This is far beyond the level of rapping we saw in Too Much Volcano

[@LotoTheHero]

Dr. Jelly is such a cool thing that you guys came up with. Honestly, the fact that you guys threw that music video together so quickly and Joey had to write it on the spot with such limited time is impressive. It ended up being very catchy! Editing was top notch on it as well, so Kudos to the editor(s). You guys knocked that challenge outta the park!

[@lynda.grace.14]

And as one of the crew said this one is better than ASO. Loved the shots in the pimped out van.

[@TheNin-Jedi]

At this point I'm surprised the jelly companies in Japan hasn't contacted neither of you for a sponsorship. Especially after all this free advertising. Making Dr. Jelly official would be peak.

[@Vinterloft]

You underestimate the arrogance of Japanese companies haha. Never heard of Nintendo or Sony? Granted, some are cool, Fujifilm off the top of my head seem to be more humble.

[@a_mind-adrift4008]

We need a Dr. Jelly anime origin story 😂

[@Vulpix298]

Why do a sponsorship when he's already promoting their jelly brand for free?

[@YaBoiBigNutz]

Not only is it free promo. But I'm also pretty sure that most of this channels audience doesn't live in Japan and wouldn't be able to buy the product anyways. Sure they might buy it when they travel, but it's not worth investing in a paid sponsorship for that small amount of customers. Especially if they're already being done for free

[@Amateur.Nail.Art.1]

Who knew that the little challenge from the OG Journey Across Japan series 5 years ago, of filming a commercial in 24 hours would launch such an iconic character. Loved the new iteration of Dr. Jelly.

[@Whiskey_Assassin]

Ok Chris gotta be honest, these songs are bangers. I feel like you have a knack for this on top of your prolific editing and production skills. And we already know Joey is an amazing lyricist.

[@MarconKFPSafetyDpt]

it really was a very good beat

[@krisstopher8259]

it sounds like an 80's rap song, can't remember the artist. even a bit like will smith in his early days, lol

[@toric6005]

I mean if they don’t want Dr. Jelly to keep coming back they need to stop delivering absolutely gold every time he appears!

[@Yerlockk]

On a more somber note, it's really sad to see how many abandoned places there are in Japan after the bubble burst.

[@cosmicquetzal220]

The silver lining is that they made a lovely museum out of this one though 🥰 I wish everyone would find new uses for historical places more often rather than just tear them down! Architecture was made with so much more care, quality, and artistry back then!

The school you visited is beautiful, even though its a museum, its still so well maintained (building and grounds) the wood has taken on that fantastic silvered colour. It's a shame that Japans population seems to be shrinking, this place probably had so much memory for so many people. ❤️
